Borbangnadyr
Borbangnadyr is a fictional settlement featured in the works of J.R.R. Tolkien. It appears in The Lord of the Rings, specifically in the appended histories. Borbangnadyr is described as a fortress built by the Men of Dunland. Its strategic location was significant during the period of conflict between Rohan and the Dunlendings. The fortress played a role in the military movements and territorial disputes of the region. Details about its exact construction or the specific events that transpired there are limited, but its presence underscores the long-standing animosity and warfare between the two peoples. The name itself, Borbangnadyr, is derived from the Black Speech of Mordor, reflecting the influence or alliance of Sauron's forces in the area during certain periods. The fortress served as a base of operations and a symbol of Dunlending power in their conflicts with the Rohirrim. Its mention helps to flesh out the historical context and the complexities of the geopolitical landscape of Middle-earth during the Third Age.
